There are the thoughts of now and then Also the feelings of was and when A loneliness of looking deep inside Seeing the truths from which we hide To sift like flour til all does lay As fine as dust on a windy day The winds of remorse can blow so strong Leaving us to feel of only the wrong But let the sweetness of calm curl the lips Hold your world with gentle fingertips For nothing was so bad we can’t overcome To change to peace for the total sum Too often we look at what could have been Instead of living in the now and then As the seas of grass and water do roll Accept for a fact that we have paid our toll The coin of exchange was experiences had To teach us that good overcomes the bad Bad thoughts will salt the fertile ground Bringing a crop which will continually hound So leave the seeds of happy thought And accept what has been and what was taught Breath in the fragrance of clean new air Begin once more to accept life’s dare |

When you lay the sticks down on the fire so that all might come to hear, we do more than hear, we come to feel, and sense, that there is more for us to learn. Keep teaching, please... |
